- Quotes
Ray Brighton: [to Marko] Quite clever, I must say. You married Peggy, a--a bad girl in your mind. You brought her out here so we could fall in love. You used all kinds of tricks to arouse our affections, to excite us! Why, you even played jealous, forced us to dance, to kiss, to get ideas into our heads... You stopped at nothing! You even killed my little dog so he wouldn't give you away while you were spying on us outside!
Featured review
This is a sad breakdown of a seemingly nice guy.
This is an interesting little film noir flick that starts with just a spotlight on an actor as he ascends a flight of stairs and then in the form of a narrator introduces himself as the devil!
Then the film starts with a young naïve gentleman having breakfast at a diner who is talking about making a deal with a gentleman named Marco to go in to business with him looking for a lost gold mine.
"Gold isn't money, it's a religion."
On the way up to look for the lost gold mine, partners Marco and Ray stop at the last station to loaded up on gas and supplies. There Ray meets Peggy, who I notice has a curl in the middle of her forehead...and a baby and she's not even married!
"My gold, 15 years, my gold."-Marco.
"Gold, for miles and miles. Pure gold."-Marco.
"I dream about it, piles of gold."-Ray
Marco comes up with an idea to get rid of his 50/50 partner in the gold mine, Ray,...marry Peggy.
"Let's keep it decent partner"-Peggy.
The actress playing Peggy really makes this film she is equal parts lovely, fish-wife, and innocent. I'm just glad that someone wises up in the end.
Different story but similar look to The Postman Always Rings Twice...but this time it's the seemingly sweet foreigner!
